Patent number: 11936276Abstract: A motor assembly includes a motor, an electric pump to supply oil to the motor, an inverter assembly connected to the motor, and a first wire harness and a second wire harness. The inverter assembly includes an inverter to convert a high-voltage direct current into an alternating current and supply the alternating current to the motor, and a controller to control the inverter and the electric pump. The first wire harness electrically connects an external power supply and the inverter assembly, and passes a low-voltage power supply line. The low-voltage power supply line is, at a branch point, branched into a controller power supply line to supply drive power to the controller and a pump power supply line to supply drive power to the electric pump.Type: GrantFiled: April 14, 2020Date of Patent: March 19, 2024Assignee: NIDEC CORPORATIONInventors: Keisuke Fukunaga, Yohei Miyata, Hironobu Kumagai

Publication number: 20230010604Abstract: A drive device includes a motor and an inverter. A motor axis is parallel to an output axis. The inverter is located in a second direction orthogonal to a first direction with respect to the motor axis and extends in a third direction orthogonal to the first and second directions.
